... we have full access to the Throne of Grace through Jesus Christ, our ONE Mediator.

Not only do we have full access, but we have a command to seek God's help for one another. NOWHERE are we told to pray to dead people to gain the ear of Christ, our ONLY Mediator!

James 5: 13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

19 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

Very true! Funny how the title of this thread was “The Protestant's Dilemma” when no Catholic can squeeze out of the dilemma of Holy Scripture disputing what they claim is the truth and which all Christians MUST believe.
